Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 50 kg child daily volume

Use the 4-2-1 rule: For first 10 kg: $10 \times 100 = 1000$ mL; Next 10 kg: $10 \times 50 = 500$ mL; Remaining 30 kg: $30 \times 20 = 600$ mL. Sum: $1000 + 500 + 600 = 2100$ mL

Step2: Calculate 50 kg child hourly rate

Divide daily volume by 24: $\frac{2100}{24} = 87.5 \approx 88$ mL/hr

Step3: Convert 15.4 lb to kg

$15.4 \div 2.2 = 7$ kg

Step4: Calculate 7 kg infant daily volume

Use 4-2-1 rule: $7 \times 100 = 700$ mL

Step5: Calculate 7 kg infant hourly rate

Divide daily volume by 24: $\frac{700}{24} \approx 29.17 \approx 29$ mL/hr

Answer:

For 50 kg child:

Total daily volume: 2100 mL; Hourly rate: 88 mL/hr

For 15.4 lb infant:

Total daily volume: 700 mL; Hourly rate: 29 mL/hr
